[PATCH v4 0/6] Add display support on the stm32f746-disco board

[PATCH v4 0/6] Add display support on the stm32f746-disco board

[Dario Binacchi]

The series adds support for the display on the stm32f746-disco board,
along with a generic patch that adds the "bpp" parameter to the stm-drm
module. The intention is to allow users to size, within certain limits,
the memory footprint required by the framebuffer.

Changes in v4:
- Use DTS property instead of module parameter to set the framebuffer bit depth.

Changes in v3:
- rename ltdc-pins-a-0 to ltdc-0.
- drop [4/6] dt-bindings: display: simple: add Rocktech RK043FN48H

[PATCH v4 4/6] dt-bindings: display: stm32-ltdc: add optional st, fb-bpp property

[Dario Binacchi]

Boards that use the STM32F{4,7} series have limited amounts of RAM. The
added property allows to size, within certain limits, the memory footprint
required by the framebuffer.

My bot found errors running 'make DT_CHECKER_FLAGS=-m dt_binding_check'
on your patch (DT_CHECKER_FLAGS is new in v5.13):

yamllint warnings/errors:

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:
/builds/robherring/dt-review-ci/linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/st,stm32-ltdc.yaml: properties:st,fb-bpp:maxItems: False schema does not allow 1
	from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/meta-schemas/core.yaml#

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/devicetree-bindings/patch/20230619165525.1035243-5-dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.

Hmm, this sounds quite a lot like "software policy", since the actual
display doesn't have these limitations. Rob, Krzysztof?

Really?
https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=dfn:st,stm32-ltdc.yaml%20

You sure this shouldn't be "new in v4"?

Is there not a more understandable property name than this?
Maybe I just had to think about it because fbdev stuff aint something
I've worked with...

Why not make it an enum, since there are only 4 values?

Cheers,
Conor.

Indeed. This doesn't belong in DT.

[PATCH v4 6/6] drm/stm: set framebuffer bit depth through DTS property

[Dario Binacchi]

The patch, which is backwards compatible, sets the bit depth of the
framebuffer using the optional property 'st,fb-bpp' in the DTS.
